Op that first picture na NSCDC no be military oo

They look like village masquerade...

Better them than me in the battleground. I cannot risk my life for anything.

Special forces that sat back whilst a star general was ambushed, kidnapped and paraded by rag tag bandits before summarily executing same general like it's just nothing. Why are there no QRF within the theater of operation mostly comprising if these SFs or their own is just to carry fancy riffles and badges on their neatly kitted camo?

Next you'll see them in parades or VIP protection duty in Abuja.
